AI总结:

本文通过模板化提示操纵求职者名字,测量LLM在招聘邮件生成中的录用或拒绝倾向,发现其在多种设置下偏袒白人而非西班牙裔,且偏见随提示变化。

摘要:

我们考察大型语言模型(LLM)在招聘决策中是否表现出基于种族和性别的姓名歧视,这类似于社会科学中的经典发现(Bertrand和Mullainathan,2004)。我们设计了一系列模板化提示,要求LLM向一位具名求职者撰写电子邮件,告知其招聘决定。通过操纵求职者的名字,我们测量被感知的种族、族裔和性别对LLM生成录用或拒绝邮件概率的影响。我们发现,在许多情境下,LLM的招聘决策更可能偏袒白人求职者而非西班牙裔求职者。总体而言,录用率最高和最低的群体分别是阳性白人名字和阳性西班牙裔名字。然而,不同群体的相对录用率在不同模板设置下有所变化,表明LLM的种族和性别敏感性可能具有特异性,并且对提示敏感。

英文摘要:

We examine whether large language models (LLMs) exhibit race- and gender-based name discrimination in hiring decisions, similar to classic findings in the social sciences (Bertrand and Mullainathan, 2004). We design a series of templatic prompts to LLMs to write an email to a named job applicant informing them of a hiring decision. By manipulating the applicant's first name, we measure the effect of perceived race, ethnicity, and gender on the probability that the LLM generates an acceptance or rejection email. We find that the hiring decisions of LLMs in many settings are more likely to favor White applicants over Hispanic applicants. In aggregate, the groups with the highest and lowest acceptance rates respectively are masculine White names and masculine Hispanic names. However, the comparative acceptance rates by group vary under different templatic settings, suggesting that LLMs' race- and gender-sensitivity may be idiosyncratic and prompt-sensitive.
